And no…we’re not going to use this space for a list of our brunch items for the next several weeks (look at the “menu” page for that). We’re going to chat about brunch generally. Not breakfast, not lunch…but something in between. Brunch is a slow cup of java, the fat Sunday paper, and an interesting plate to look at and ultimately to eat. Sunday is one of those in between days too. I don’t usually spend the day running errands or planting in the garden (well, I don’t really do that any other day either: absent-minded gardener) but I’m lucky enough to get to cook for my friends and neighbors so I try to make it a little special. I even play different music on Sundays…old jazz or bluegrass gospel.
Last Sunday I had several people visit the restaurant who I don’t get to see very often – my mentor Dottie and our great friend MEA. Both these people had something to do with how this whole project came together and how it continues to operate and it was so good to have both of them in the same room together…it’s been at least 5 years since that happened. And it was brunch that brought them together this week.
Brunch is a collective sigh of relief. Another week has passed and even if you didn’t get everything done, it’s the possibility that you’ll do better next week.
